MMM-2Day-NOAA-Forecast

This is a module for MagicMirror² that uses the NOAA National Weather Service API forecast to show a consecutive 4 12-hr forecast. Initially, I tried to use the OpenWeather One Call 3.0 API, but it gives a pretty inaccurate forecast. A project called MMM-NOAA already exists, but it uses the WeatherBit API, not the NOAA API.

I just wanted a reliable forecast that doesn't change or go down, and I think the NOAA National Weather Service is the best because it doesn't require user registration nor APK key currently (although I think they're working on a change for that).

Acknowledgement

This module originates from the code in MMM-3Day-Forecast. The code and CSS have changed a lot, but all the credit for the layout and skeleton goes to the project.
